Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Wayfarin' Stranger Lyrics

Neil Young & Crazy Horse Lyrics

"Wayfarin' Stranger"

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright world to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I know that dark clouds will gather around me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world of woe
There's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright world to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
